Both A and R are individually true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Southwesterly winds from the Bay of Bengal and westerly winds over India will converge over eastern India and might produce heavy rain in eastern India. Very heavy rain and flooding are likely in Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Nagaland and West Bengal. Meanwhile, heavy rain and flooding are possible in Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura. The rain may intensify due to southerly winds over the Bay of Bengal which will bring moist air to eastern India.
